Tools for Engaging With Municipalities and the Public on Freshwater Issues

The Delaware River Basin Policy and Practice Workgroup has developed a number of documents to provide foundational science references for environmental advocates who are collecting stream data and who wish to communicate results to local government officials. The target readership for these documents is the stream monitoring community in the Delaware River Basin, but the workgroup hopes others may benefit as well. The workgroup strongly believes that environmental advocates must have a clear understanding of the science and the issues under discussion. Therefore, the documents are written with sufficient detail and rigor to enable advocates to engage in confident and informed dialogue.
